Listening now but wanted to give a link to his testimony at the EU "March 08, 2014 "Information Clearing House - I would like to thank the
European Parliament for the invitation to provide testimony for your inquiry into the Electronic Mass Surveillance of EU Citizens. The suspicionless
surveillance programs of the NSA, GCHQ, and so many others that we learned about over the last year endanger a number of basic rights which, in
aggregate, constitute the foundation of liberal societies" www.informationclearinghouse.info...

Personally I use nothing to protect myself . Like they were saying about TOR it only hardens your system and may cause them to work harder to get what
they want but at present they have the MOAB when it comes to having the ability to spy .I don't need the protection but I am sure there are many who
do . NSA makes it almost impossible to do that and we do need to at the least afford the ones that do to have it . If that is a matter of shutting
down the NSA to do it then we need to .It's about trust and being responsible to make it so .NSA has become that wall that like Reagan said has to
come down .... Good discussion and although I am new to it I can see from my simple understanding of it that it's much much bigger then I first
assumed .

Having heard many comments about the leaks and lack of leaks I think he is a a genuine person that cares about the US and if let the whole cat out of
the bag may have resulted in complete ciaos .I think he would like to come home ,not as a hero but as a patriot like many that have went before him
.The ones that cry foul are missing the point and are only reactionaries ,being controlled by either the left or right mind set .Thanks op for the
heads up ...peace
